I'm sure many of you are familiar with the optional name display system over people in Halo CE. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to ask questions here, but I'll go ahead
. Does anyone know if its possible to create this mod for the regular halo pc edition. If so, would anyone be able to do it. I seriously think this would be one of the best mods created. Its incredibly helpful in 5v5 matches or scrims.
Basically, you press F3 and all of the names of your teammates are displayed above their heads as they move around and everything.
Before pressing F3
After pressing F3

Nothing is impossible.

We're not playing useless technicalities. If it is completely unknown with no indication it can ever be done, it's fine to be considered impossible. Not everything in the world is literal..

The command above does NOT exist in the halopc.exe, so to get teammates names over there head you would have to use a external appy.

You'd better be off forgetting it...if I'm not mistaken the calls are made inside haloce.exe so proxy dlls are out. To modify the haloce.exe you would have to remove the debugger protection, which would mean you would have to crack it which is illegal and then you would have to distribute the patched exe file...no thank you.

It's impossible unless you use a 3rd party program. No one has attempted to create one yet.

I have a solution then. Go down to your local dealer, and 'imagine'.
